As someone mentioned in another comment, I don't think they will care about how the ads are being blocked. As long as you are bypassing ads, you are in breach of their TOS.



Yea, but there is no way to distinct why ads don't reach the target, and as it's worded, they can't block service for technical difficulties but for intentional behaviour.

I haven't seen even if they specified whether it must be the account user or not. E.g. your network host or isp can do it.

So that seems interesting, unless they can do it on a whim anyways and dont have to prove anything. Though they could just say, "no free service if we cant serve ads".


> they can't block service for technical difficulties but for intentional behaviour

They can block service for whatever reason they want.


So if someone connects to a public Wi-Fi network with a Pi-Hole installed, they'll get banned?
